I was developing a website on a certain web host and they lost everything. They told me their disks crashed and even the backup are unretrievable. I am mad.
As I was often accessing my website through my personal browser, is there any way I can get the static html content from my cache for my webpages?
I managed to find the css, pictures and js files from my local cache, but I would really want to also get back all the html and texts (content) that I’ve written.
The webpages were generated dynamically (php) from a database (mysql) so I found no html files containing the text for each of my pages.
Is there a way I can get these texts or any trace of html source for my webpages..?
Thanks in advance…
Probably not, I’m afraid is the short answer.
Looking through my IE cache, there are hardly any HTML documents or similar. There are a few files with a
.phpextension which contain the HTML that was generated by the execution of those PHP scripts, but not many – probably not nearly enough for your purposes.My Firefox cache has absolutely nothing like this – it is all images, css and js.
Slightly embarrasingly, I can’t find my Chrome cache on my hard drive…
